Simon Quick Advisors, a Morristown, New Jersey-based registered investment adviser, has acquired Red Hook Management, an RIA managing $420 million that is also based in Morristown.
Red Hook has three advisers, who are joining Simon Quick; the combined entity will have 68 employees and manage approximately $5 billion.
The driver for the deal was the requirements of running a fiduciary wealth management firm. Mark DeLotto, a Simon Quick managing partner, noted in a statement that his firm can deliver "a platform for organic growth" while providing solutions for firms' "technological, operational and succession issues.”
Also, Orion has added BlackRock, Fidelity, and Vanguard to its custom portfolios suite, and RedBlack has set up a new headquarters after crossing a trillion-dollar milestone.
Also, New York-based Legacy Edge Advisors names its first-ever CEO, while Novare Capital Management hires a Vanguard veteran with a multigenerational planning focus.
